Abstract
RIBONUCLEIC acid-dependent RNA polymerase (replicase) was first isolated from Escherichia coli infected with RNA bacteriophage Q β which has specific template requirements1. Such an enzyme has been described in tumour cells and several types of mammalian cells infected with RNA viruses2–5.
